- Description
- This pair of paintings is united by elements of line, color, and design. They share a light yellow background that, in both paintings, supports bold black shapes and thin, energetic black lines. The piece on the left contains a large, black "C" with a bright yellow halo in the middle that is flanked on the top by a thick, horizontal black line with a blue halo and on the bottom by a horizontal row of black dots. Another shorter thick, vertical black line with a pink halo occupies the lower right hand corner. The piece on the right contains four thick, vertical black lines. The fattest of the four sits on the left side of the painting. Two slightly skinnier ones sit side by side toward the right. The skinniest one sits even farther to the right, and it is broken up by swatches of gray. Above the the vertical lines on the right, in the upper right corner, sits a grid of nine black dots. Linear washes of orange and green create contrast with the painting on the left while a small square of pink in the painting on the right unifies them., Symbiosis 1& 2; (29 x 35.5 x .5 ea.); 8-96; dry pigment, enamel, gold leaf, varnish on aluminum, Tom Anderson was born in 1951 in Salt Lake City, the son of a jazz musician.

- Description
- This piece is based on a wilderness study area in the areas of Steens Mountain southeastern Oregon. The particular site of this photograph depicts the remnants of a homestead from the heyday of dryland farming. All that remains is evidence of the root cellar and some trees that are not native to the geographic region of this site. Many of the named plants have disappeared from this location and others like where at one time they were abundant. (Warpinski), Home Creek Canyon . . .

Warpinski's images reflect her reverence for the Western Landscape and her interest in the traces of human connection with this landscape. Warpinski invests her images with a strong belief in the environmental movement: "Art, literature and Theater can gather people around an issue in an uplifting way.

In my experience art can reach the spirit of people in a deeper way than a purely analytical approach..."

10. Strategies
- Description
- Photographs abstract time and manipulate space. The monocular view through the camera lens collapses deep space onto a 2 dimensional picture plane. Often this collapse renders a powerful physical experience of place quite impotent when translated to the photographic surface. Maps are also an abstraction of space, as well as a code or language that describes the place to those that know the language. These two abstracted views are combined to give multiple readings of the same place - an edge overlooking Big Indian Gorge seen through a curtain of Mountain mahogany. (Warpinski), Strategies.
